How to use Dilutop-M Cream
This medicine is for external use only. Use it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Clean and dry the affected area and apply the cream. Wash your hands after applying, unless hands are the affected area.
How Dilutop-M Cream works
Dilutop-M Cream is a combination of liquid paraffin and white soft paraffin. Liquid paraffin is an emollient (a substance that soothes or softens the skin). It prevents water loss from the outer layer of the skin. This relieves dryness and leaves the skin hydrated and soft. White soft paraffin provides a layer of oil on the outer layer of the skin to prevent water from evaporating from the skin's surface.

FAQs
How often should I use Dilutop-M Cream?
You should use Dilutop-M Cream as prescribed or as required. However, Dilutop-M Cream is especially effective when applied immediately after washing to compensate for the loss of essential oils and moisture from the skin.
Can I use Dilutop-M Cream on my baby?
Yes, Dilutop-M Cream is generally safe for babies and children. However, it is important to apply it in small amounts and under the supervision of a doctor or healthcare provider to prevent skin maceration (the softening and breakdown of the skin due to prolonged exposure to moisture) or overhydration.
